  what is your goal in this discussion? What are you trying to achieve by personal attacks and low quality inputs? Just trying to vent?

    You are using whataboutism, personal attacks and ignorance as a debating tactic - including quoting the CIAs words to exonerate the CIA. Its as if USA did not overthrow democracy to install the Shah of Iran. It's as if US government did not democratically elected Allende in Haiti. It's as if CIA backed banana republics don't exist in Latin America. It's as if USA did not send ships to the Indian ocean to assist west Pakistan with the genocide in Bangladesh to overturn the election results. You are calling historical facts "fantasies" and making personal attacks on everything else. It's your commitment to ignorance even when all the information is shoved in your face that is impressive, much more than the whataboutism.

      I in good faith checked your example with Chile, found that you didn't read link you posted, you compromised yourself and don't deserve any level of trust anymore nor any effort to check your other pointers. Again, what are you trying to achieve from this discussion?

        You absolutely didn't read the Chile article in good faith. Instead you searched for a statement absolving CIA by the CIA. You live in a fantasy land where banana republics is just a clothing store. Not once have you acted in good faith. You are pretending to a level of ignorance that is completely unreal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9ta... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_Salvadoran_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_Salvadoran_coup_d%27%C3%A... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Guatemalan_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Guatemalan_coup_d%27%C3%A... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Haitian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Haitian_coup_d%27%C3%A9ta... https://www.newagebd.net/article/167119/kissinger-admits-us-role-in-bangladesh-liberation-war-a-misjudgement https://www.newagebd.net/article/167119/kissinger-admits-us-... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_genocide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_genocide https://chomsky.info/secrets04/ https://chomsky.info/secrets04/

        > As I said I won't read your links anymore. Anything else? :-) The commitment to ignorance and refusal to read, with celebratory, fait accompli, victory smiley is not surprising :) The stereotype of the proudly ignorant American isn't without reason. You were obviously arguing in bad faith from the beginning. The links are for readers who will follow and are able to read, that would mostly be non Americans :)
